The beauty of the Southern Pleasures tour surprised us. We expected beauty in the fjord country, but all of Norway is picturesque. Great hotels, great food, great people!

Brekke puts on an outstanding tour. The quality of staff, hotels, and sites was exceptional. I embarked on this tour proud of my Norwegian heritage but now I know why. I come away from Norway even more proud to be Norwegian! I really appreciated all the personal connections Brekke has in Norway. You felt like more than conducting a tour, they were sharing their home. Every day was a new mountaintop experience.
